1. TECHNICAL DATA This device belongs to the Modulex 3 line, and processes the ground current Io and residual voltage Uo to provide for directional earth fault overcurrent protection as well residual overvoltage protection. The relay can comunicate with the user: - locally by the relay front-located-display; - with a remote control and monitoring system by a LONWORKS (TM) bus. It is furthermore capable of dialoguing with a Personal Computer through a connector located on the relay front and an interface programme. This feature makes it easier and safer to programme the setting parameters and configure and read the set values, measurements and logged events; the programming can also be taken from previously created files. Protective functions: directional / adirectional earth fault with three thresholds first threshold with selection of independent or inverse time tripping characteristic second and third thresholds with delayed independent time lag characteristic residual overvoltage protection accelerated selectivity, that is the possibility of sending and receiving information from other protections, so that only those that are nearer to the fault are enabled to trip instantaneously. For phase and earth thresholds, the function may be managed separately breaker failure protection possibility of two groups of settings: main and reserve possibility of first threshold tripping interrupt because of second or third threshold starting both for phase and earth fault protection; which eliminates any possible interference between inverse time curves and definite time second and third threshold Measurement functions: current values, expressed in Ion multiples primary current values, expressed in Amperes voltagevalues, expressed in Uon multiples maximum recorded values, expressed in Ion and Uon measure of the angle, expressed in degrees, between ground current and residual voltage Io^Uo logging of the last 8 events with storage of tripped threshold values, date, time, value of fault currents, residual voltage and angle Io^Uo Oscilloperturbography: recording, for a total time equalling 2.5 s, of the instant values (12 samples per period) of the two input quantities (Io, Uo), and of the19 logical states, among which are digital inputs and additional timers. RCE logging recorder of the last 32 state changements (with relative date and time); they are available only via PC or network. Other functions: selection of 1A or 5A rated current through internal jumpers selection rated frequency from 50 to 60 Hz.

2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The device features a mechanical casing that is 4U in height, and as wide as to allow up to 4 pieces to be accommodated in a 19" rack, in addition to normal flush-mounting. The casing is made of a hot-galvanized PVC-coated plate frame inside which the moving part that carries all the electronic circuits and the local interface slides on guides. The pullout action is facilitated by the presence of special "handles" which, when the device is "plugged in", are also used to lock the two parts. The aluminium frame of the moving part renders the latter excellently rigid. The device/system interface terminal blocks are located on top of the casing and, for each electrical connection, a screw clamp is available apt to receive up to 2 cable terminals, 4mm2 in size. Using a special accessory that is included in the supply, the connection can also be made using Faston units. Special error-sensing codes avoid inserting relays other than those compatible with the housing. A cover lid classes the terminal block within the IP20 protection class. When the moving part is pulled out, the current inputs are automatically short-circuited, whereas the voltage and auxiliary circuits are disconnected. The device front bears two labels: one plate lists the factory configuration of the device, namely auxiliary voltage, rated current and frequency; The other plate, always in accordance with the factory configuration, provides an explanation of LED signals. Both these labels can be easily replaced with new ones, which can bear that information as the client will require. As far as the factory configuration relevant to output relays, LED's, digital inputs and relevant settings are concerned, please refer to tables A, B and C. 2.1 Selecting rated values
The selection of the rated current between 1 or 5 Ampres for ground fault protection is made by acting on jumpers S4 and S10, which can be reached once the relay has been pulled out; they must all be set to the same rated current value. The jumpers: S3, S7, S8 and S9 have not influence on relay working (see fig. 1, 4a, 4b).

Hazardous voltages can remain in the device even when the latter has been de-energized or pulled out of its casing (condensers' memory).

3. OPERATION 3.1 Directional ground fault overcurrent protection The Directional ground fault overcurrent protection works by comparing the measured ground fault current and voltage with the set thresholds (Io> Uo>, Io>> Uo>>, Io>>>, Uo>>>). Once the requirements listed below are met: - Io and Uo thresholds exceeded (in module) - Io current vector in the tripping area - Io [mA] + Uo [V] >20 the protection starts both the tstart and the to1, to2, to3 tripping timers; if these conditions persist until the associated tstart time is over, the delayed start command is sent. If the tripping timers also reach the set overtime condition, the tripping command is sent; furthermore, the partial and total counters relevant to the operating threshold increase and the event logging activity is enabled. The protection's tripping area turns out to be defined by + 90 as to the characteristic angle Io^Uo, which can be separately set for each tripping threshold. The angle is to be considered positive with counterclockwise direction as to the voltage vector Uo taken as a reference point (lead current). In the figure below, the tripping area is indicated by the hatched area. To define such area, the ground fault voltage applied to terminals 9-10 with reference polarity to terminal 9, and the ground fault current getting into terminal 7 of the unit are to be considered (also refer to fig. 5).
If a special opto-insulated input previously set to lock out one or more thresholds is fed, the start registers are held at zero so that all tripping is inhibited until the input is not fed anymore. The characteristics of the Io> threshold can be as follows: - definite time, expressed as : type INDIPEN t = t1 - inverse time, in compliance with the IEC 255 standard, expressed as: 0.14 x K curve type A t = + 0.02 ( Io / Io> )0.02 - 1 13.5 x K t = + 0.02 ( Io / Io> )1 - 1 80 x K t = + 0.02 ( Io / Io> )2 - 1
curve type B
curve type C
where: K allows for selecting the curve within the family Io/Io> it's the ratio between the greatest current measured and the set threshold (with a maximum value equalling Io/Io>=25) The inverse time characteristics, as shown in figure 3a, 3b and 3c, prove to be also applicable to the ground fault protection if falling within the the 0 to 0.8 Ion measuring range. The tstart, to2 and to3 timers have an independent time characteristic. The directional character can be disabled for each ground threshold.

3.2 Inverse-time Io> trip interrupt function The tripping of the first threshold's (if inverse-time) end relay can be interrupted on starting the second and third threshold. This is done to remove any disturbance possibly occurring between the inverse-time curves and the definite-time threshold delays. With reference to the example shown in the figure beside, the tripping characteristic of the protection, without making use of the interrupt function, would be defined by the curve A-B-C-D-F and not by the theoretical A-B-C-D-E curve, which would inevitably result into loss of selectivity with the downstream protections.

3.3 Accelerated phase and earth selectivity function This function allows the earth fault to be selectively eliminated, indipendent of its location in the system, within a to3 time, thus giving up the traditional chronometrical selectivity. The function is implemented by setting up a digital input that locks the Io>>> threshold, this lock being controlled by the relays that start the Io>> threshold of the downstream protections. When a fault shows up, all the protections affected by the shortcircuit current instantly commute their own starting end-relays by resetting the Io>>> threshold timer of the protection/s immediately above: only the relay located next to the fault , without receiving any lock-out signal, operates within the to3 time. If the second Io>> threshold is set as Io>>> but with a to2 tripping time duly delayed as to to3, a chronometrical selectivity that backs up the one-time selectivity can be reached, which provides the system with a further protection step.

4. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS 4.1 Diagnostic Diagnostic activities are envisaged which are automatically carried out upon powering on the device as well as from time to time during the running, and which provide the following actions: - signalling fault or failure conditions. This signal deenergizes the diagnostic relay, turns off the green LED (indicating running system) and lights up the red LED (indicating system failure). - locking out the system in the event of faults that might entail ill-timed operation (VITAL FAULTS). - displaying the failure code. The following failures are classed as NON-VITAL FAULTS: - output relay(s) (X1 - X5) failure - communication failure - internal clock failure The following failures fall within the VITAL FAULTS: - feeder failure - EEPROM failure - internal or external RAM failure - Analogue/Digital converter failure In the presence of vital faults, the device automatically displays the fault code; this condition can only be reset, if the equipment allows this condition to be reset, by enabling the 'settings change' function. In the event that, upon starting up the equipment, an EEPROM failure makes it impossible to retrieve the information on the selected dialogue language, the device will continue working using Italian as the default dialogue language. The device includes the 'Watch Dog' function. The diagnostic activity is also aimed at signalling any condition of "inhibited equipment"; this condition is displayed with a dedicated code, the diagnostic relay is de-energized and the red LED (faulty device) lights up. This condition can only be reset by enabling the 'settings change' function. The diagnostic menu also indicates the date when last changes were made to the equipment. 4.2 Output circuits The output circuits are composed of six relays, each of them equipped with two contacts (see block diagram). The X6 relay, normally energized, is strictly assigned to the diagnostic function. Each remaining relay, if duly programmed through the keyboard, a Personal Computer or a network, can be: - set to perform one or more functions - preset for: - monostable operation: immediate return to the quiescent position when the cause that operated it is removed. - bistable operation (MEMOR): the tripping position is maintained until a reset signal comes from the front push-button, the digital input or the serial connection. - for a minimum duration of the signal or command (t_IMP). The output relays, except for the diagnostic relay, can all be simultaneously set to "normally energized" (NORMAL.ON=ON) or "normally de-energized" (NORMAL.ON=OFF): this selection is made by acting on the S1 jumper, which can only be reached when the relay is pulled out (see figg. 1, 4c, 4d). 4.3 LED signalling circuits
The signalling circuits are made up of twelve LED's (see fig. 5). Four LEDS are rigorously assigned to previously established signalling functions: - green (Uaux) LED ON in the presence of power supply and with correct feeder output voltage values - green (RUN) LED ON with permanent light in normal conditions and blinking during setting changing and testing activities - red (RUN) LED ON with permanent light when the diagnostic detects a fault or a condition of inhibition. - green (Rx Tx) LED on with permanent light when the device is correctly connected to the network; blinking with communication board not enabled or not configured, OFF when the communication board is not present on the device. Each of the eight LED's left, if duly programmed through the keyboard, a Personal Computer or a network, can be: - set to perform one or more functions - pre-set for: - monostable operation; it automatically goes out when the cause that made it go on is removed. - bistable (MEMOR) operation; the LED remains ON until a reset signal is sent through the front push-button, the digital input or the serial link. Any auxiliary voltage failure only entails a temporary loss of the luminous signalling, which come back again as soon as voltage is restored. A pocket is provided close to each LED where LED-identification labels can be placed. 4.4 Digital inputs Each of the three optoisolated inputs can be assigned to one or more protection's functions through a keyboard-, P.C.- or network-programming activity. The input voltage can even not match the device's auxiliary voltage. The digital inputs can be set to be enabled through normal energizing or normal de-energizing. 4.5 Additional timers All of the optoisolated inputs (IN DIG 1,IN DIG 2,IN DIG 3) can be set to be associated with additional timers (t_X1, t_X2, t_X3). When the programmed input is enabled, the associated additional timer starts, and if the timer reaches the over-time status, the tripping signal is sent and maintained for as long as the input remains enabled. 4.6 Counters Each tripping threshold is associated with a partial and total counter. The counters work within the 0-9999 range; when 9999 is exceeded, the counter is automatically reset and the count restarts from the beginning. All the partial counters can be reset through the keyboard, a Personal Computer or a network.

4.7 Event logging When a tripping event occurs, the following information is stored in the circulating memory: - first operated threshold - day,month, year, hour,minute,second and millisecond identifying the tripping event - the values of residual voltage Uo, ground current Io and Io^Uo phase displacements, as measured at the time of the trip. The set of information concerning one trip is called event. The circulating memory allows the last 8 events to be stored, and when this number is exceeded, a new record replaces the older: the last event is stored as EVENT 1. The stored events can be read from the front display unit or from a PC in serial connection with the device. Furthermore, the device can store the latest 32 changes of state (with related date and time) and make them available via PC or local field-bus only. 4.8 Measurements The device can display the instant values of: - earth current, which is expressed in multiples of the Ion rated currents, and, in the form of an absolute value, in primary Amperes. - residual voltage, expressed in multiples of Uon and, in the form of an absolute value, in primary Volts. - Io^Uo displacements, expressed in sexagesimal degrees. The device also displays the maximum values of: - earth currents, in multiples of Ion - zero sequence voltage, in multiples of Uon as measured from the last Reset of maximum values. 4.9 Test Besides the normal diagnostic already dealt with, the device also offers, in the TEST mode, the possibility of testing LED's, display unit and output relays. - The LED test turns on all the LED's, L1 to L8, and the display unit (LCD) for two seconds. Once the test is over, the LED's that were ON before the test remain ON and the display unit goes back to the previous information displayed. The test can also be performed in any operating condition, without affecting the operation in progress. - the relay test allows the output relays X1 to X5 to be sequentially selected and checked for correct operation. In this way, any external signalling or control circuit can be tested, as well. The tested relay remains energized for 150 to 200 ms. If starting or tripping commands are already present, the test is not carried out and a dedicated message appears on the display unit. The test on auxiliary relays does not affect counters, event logs and LED's. 4.10 Alphanumeric code
The device can be identified within the system by an alphanumeric code, which can be set by the user directly on the equipment or through a PC. With device linked to the network, the alphanumeric code can only be modified by acting through the network. 4.11 Language The device can display information in four languages:Italian, English, French and Spanish. The language can be selected through the keyboard. 4.12 LCD setting The display can be set for fixed (OFF) or timed (ON) backlighting; in the latter case, the display lights up for 300s any time a key is pressed. 4.13 Inhibiting - resetting the device via network The device must be inhibited when located in already running plants, to avoid troubles possibly showing up when a protection must be fed whose settings are unknown or need to be changed. The inhibition is set on by holding the settings change button pressed, for about 2 s, and simultaneously injecting the auxiliary supply until the following message is displayed: [ BLOC ] [ ] On releasing the button, the condition of "device-inhibited" is signalled by a diagnostics fault message (P). The device can only be restored to normal operation by shifting to the settings change function, which is however enabled; a momentary loss of auxiliary supply does not affect the "inhibited" state of the device. If the device is also equipped with a field-bus board, from the BLOC. condition, by holding the settings change push-button pressed for another 2 s, the device will display: [ NET RESET ? ] [_ NO YES _] provided that a confirmation is given, the device can also be made lose its network configuration. The complete procedure to inhibit and reset the device via network must be carried out any time the device needs replacing. The restoration of an inhibited and reset device will entail a K message type to be displayed until the device is configured anew. The device can only be restored to normal operation by shifting to the settings change function, which is however enabled.

4.14 Serial communication on LONWORKS (TM) bus The device, in the version including the special bus board, can communicate with a central monitoring and control system at a speed equalling 1.2 5 Mbaud. The connection to the field bus is made through terminals: 43 and 45. The communication board, which can be also added later, is only enabled if the special S6 jumper is correctly connected, while it is not in the case the jump is connected in vertical position across S5 and S6 (see fig. 2). If the S6 jumper is connected when the communication board is not present, the diagnostic function displays a message of failure, behaving as if the board were present and faulty. Appendix A lists the parameters available for the network.

4.16 Fault Recorder The device can record the course of input current Io, residual voltages Uo and the logic states of the 8 LED's, the 5 auxiliary relays, the 3 digital inputs and the 3 additional timers. The total recording time equals 2.5s, and can be divided into variable time before start-up and variable time after start-up. The fault recording function can be started for: tstart end, trip, enabling of digital inputs and timers. The selection of starting parameters, graphic display and fault recorder reset can be made through a PC or a network. The function can even be reset by interrupting the auxiliary voltage for a short while. 4.17 Continuous trippinng circuits control The use of a digital input enabled by normal de-energizing combined with one of the additional TX timers allows for monitoring the circuit of the tripping coil for continuity, both when the breaker is open and closed. The local interface is made up of: - An LCD display unit extending over two lines of sixteen characters each. Through a special keyboard-controlled scanning, the display unit enables the settings to be read and changed, the measurements, the counters, the logged events and the diagnostic information to be read. - A keyboard or keypad made up of six keys, five of which can even be reached when the cover is on by means of a special extension link. In addition to the above-mentioned scanning, the keyboard is also used to change the settings, to carry out tests that require commands to be sent and stored indications to be set to zero. The keys that can be reached when the cover is on only allow for read-out and reset operations. Key It scrolls the menu upwards or increases a value, if the settings change function is enabled. [] It scrolls the menu downwards or decreases a value, if the settings change function is enabled.

Key It scrolls the menu to the left or selects the value to be changed, if the settings change function is enabled. [] It resets the stored LED's indications if the cause has been removed, or the partial counters if you are in the "display counters" menu. It takes the end relays to quiescent state when they are set to bistable operation. If pressed for at least 2s, this key enables the settings to be changed. When the settings change is enabled, the green LED (RUN) lights up blinking. If pressed once again for at least 2s, the system goes back to the normal running conditions and, provided that a confirmation is given, the new settings become the current ones (the key can only be reached by removing the cover). During the setting change operations, the device continues working with the old settings. If the changes made are confirmed in the presence of a fault, they are not made the current ones until the event is over: the interrupt state is signalled for 3s by a message on the display unit, after which you are prompted to confirm the changes made. If pressed upon feeding the device with auxiliary voltage until a failure message appears on the display, this key inhibits the device from operating. Keys If simultaneously pressed for at least 2s, these keys enable the protection to be tested. When the testing activity is enabled, the green LED (RUN) starts blinking. If simultaneously pressed for at least 2s during the TEST routine, these keys enable you to leave the protection testing mode.

The green LED (RUN) stops blinking and becomes permanent. If, upon confirming the changes, a fault is detected, or, as regards software releases earlier than 1.51, a digital input associated with a timer turns out to be enabled, the settings are not accepted as long as the fault event persists (fault or enabling). This state is signalled for 3s by the following message: [SETTINGS CHANGE] [DELAYED ] once the event is over, you are prompted to confirm the changes made again. If, as regards software releases earlier than 1.51, the acquisition is suspended due to the enabling of a digital input, which cannot be disabled at that given time, and you need to change the settings, first inhibit the device, then enter the changes (see paragraphs 4.13 and 6.1.13). Note: the "settings change" function can even be implemented when the device is "forced" to use the SPARE SETTINGS.

7. APPLICATION AND USE This rich and versatile device is suitable for the directional protection of overhead, cable and machinery lines from ground faults. The ground fault detection relay is fit to be connected on the common return of the three CTs (Holmgreen plugging-in), this technique being used in systems featuring high ground faults, as well as onto toroidal CTs, generally used in systems featuring low ground faults. The ground fault overvoltage threshold Uo>>>> makes it possible to back up the ground fault overcurrent protection. It is furthermore vital in those systems which, due to service- or emergency-related requirements, can be modified in settings by reducing the ground fault current to values that cannot be sensed by the ground fault overcurrent protection. 8. INSTALLATION - TRANSPORT 8.1 ESD Electrostatic charges
The device uses electronic components that are sensitive to electrostatic charges, which can lay with any individual. Therefore, the operator who happens to handle the moving part of the equipment and come in contact with the electronic circuits, must take preventive measures to avoid damaging the relay: - before removing the movable part, the operator must reach the same potention as the unit by touching the housing. - avoid touching electronic components, the printed circuit board and connectors. Handle it from the outer housing. - lay the device on surfaces that are antistatic or feature the same potential as the operator's. - the relay must only be stored and transported provided that it is wrapped in its dedicated antistatic bag. As far as the following action is possible and reasonable, do not pull out the moving part from the casing to avoid causing mechanical and electrostatic damages to the protection. 8.2 Acceptance - storage Although protective relays are generally of robust construction, they require a careful treatment prior to installation on site, since they must be carefully packed and unpacked, without applying any force and using suitable tools. Once supplied, the relays must be thoroughly inspected to ensure that they have not undergone shipping damages. If the relays are not immediately installed upon reception, they must be stored in places free from dust and moisture, in their original packing. Storage temperature: -25C + 80C. 8.3 Assembling and connection - Remove the protective cover until the four fastening holes become visible. - Place the equipment into the hole of the panel-board and secure it by fastening the four screws (see fig. 6) - Connect the ground screw of the equipment to the panel's grounding system throught a cable of suitable gauge (>4mm2) and shortest length (<1m). - Perform the wiring using the screw or faston couplings of the interface terminal boards. In faston wiring, the IP20 casing of the terminal board shall be located before connecting the faston coupling to the relay. In screw wiring, the side wings of the IP20 casing matching the wired terminals shall be removed or folded in. Any assembling and connection work shall be carried out to the best workmanship.

9. SETTING THE UNIT AT WORK The relay is supplied with factory settings and configurations as indicated in tables A, B and C (factory settings). These settings can not to be consistent with the specific system where the unit is to be placed. Therefore, the relay settings must be changed in compliance with the tables D, E and F for customer's use, which must be used as a support to develop a customized setting scheme. 9.1 Safety regulations During the equipment tests and the start-up, the general safety regulations applicable to electrical systems must be complied with. Failure to comply with these regulations might cause harm to the working staff and damage to property. All the inspections and tests must only be carried out by specially trained personnel.. 9.2 Checking nameplate ratings Inquire whether the equipment ratings are consistent with those of the system, namely: - auxiliary voltage - the rated ground current; this check must be performed by checking the position of the jumpers located on the boards (see figures. 4a, 4b). - the setting of the output relays (if normally energized or normally de-energized); this check must be performed by checking the position of the jumper located on the card (see figures 4c, 4d). - the presence of the special S6 jumper, see figure 2, if the communication card is supplied and if the network is present.
I CAUTION
hazardous voltages can remain in the unit even in the absence of power supply, or after it has been pulled out of its casing (capacitor storage) 9.3 Final inspection Feed the unit with auxiliary voltage. On starting the device after a long time of power failure, the device can show an 'L' (internal clock) type fault, a NOT VITAL fault which does not compromise the remaining functions. By updating DATE and TIME, the normal working conditions are reinstated. If the system is running and the relay settings are unknown, the unit must be inhibited from operating before feeding it with voltage by pressing the change settings key (see 4.14 and 6.1.13 clause 2) to avoid troubles. Select the rated system frequency, the ground voltages on the device, set the primary current of the ground protection CT. Make the settings and configure the relays, the LEDs and the digital inputs as per the project diagrams.

- The correct correspondence between the location of the protection and the diagram in figure 5 is checked by measuring the phase difference between the ground current Io and the ground fault voltage Uo, which are artificially created by the test circuit as shown in figure 7. - By disconnecting a phase on the VT's primary side, e.g. phase L1, and by short-circuiting the relevant star secondary winding, with open delta, a voltage equalling the rated voltage of the open delta (e.g. 100:3V) and displaced as to the missing voltage L1 by 180 (U =-E ) is obtained. The "ground" fault current is simulated in various ways, depending on whether the protection is connected with a toroidal CT or with the common return of three CT's (Holmgreen connection). When the connection is made with a toroidal CT, the test current is duly produced and adjusted in value by an RR resistance located on the E (or E ) star phase. It is important that the test current gets into the toroidal CT as shown in the figure, in the direction of the line; if necessary, to increase the current value, the test wire can be coiled by several turns round the toroidal CT's core. In these conditions, the device corresponds to the diagram in figure 5 if the Io^Uo angle displayed in the measurement value proves to be +120C (with resistance loaded on phase L2, this angle must be +240C). When the protection is connected with the common return of three CT's in Holmgreen connection, the test can be performed by short-circuiting the two CT's that correspond to phases L2 and L3: in this case, the Io current equals I and, calling (delayed current positive) the current phase difference as to its star voltage, the Io^Uo angle must equal (360 - ). - With the protection connected as shown in fig. 5, the protection trips in the line direction by setting Io^Uo to an angle falling within the range 0 to +90 and +270 to 359. Check that the characteristic angle envisaged in the setting table suits the diagram made to have the protection trip in the desired direction.
10-9 L1 L3 L2 L1
If the current and voltage thresholds are exceeded by the simulated test values and the current is within the protection's tripping area, refer to paragraph 3.3, the protection can trip during the test. If the relay has not worked correctly or shows VITAL failures, it must be put out of order and sent back to the factory for repair or recalibration. The presence of a NON-VITAL fault does not cause an ill-timed operation, but demands an analysis of the fault type to assess its importance (for instance, a failing end relay should be replaced with another end relay that is not currently being used or, else, whose function is not strictly required). The possibility of exchanging the relays makes it possible to maintain the protection scheme working during repairs, so that any faulty relay can be replaced with a new one of the same type.
